Affording an apprentice

Amongst other things, taking on a bricklaying apprentice has financial advantages too:

  • The cost of employing an apprentice is less than it would be to take on another employee
  • Hiring an apprentice gives you access to the $4,000 Federal Government subsidy
  • ABBTF provide up to an additional $8,000 of generous financial assistance for those who employ apprentice bricklayers.
  • In some states ABBTF provide further subsidies to employers who hire a bricklaying apprentice through a Group Training Organisation.

That’s $8,000 in base financial support for taking on a bricklaying apprentice!

 

Depending where you are... you may even have State Government incentives available to you too (please check the Employer Incentives page for apprenticeships in your State).

And don’t forget, once your apprentice has completed their apprenticeship – and becomes a fully qualified bricklayer, you’ll have someone to work for you, who’s as good as you.

More skilled hands means less time to do the same work – or allows you, to take on more work (and revenue) for your business.
